Chapter 11: Make a Move
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After bidding farewell to Edwin, the moment Caroline entered the door, Balor’s eyes were fixed on her. “Why don’t I remember you knowing Mr. Anderson?”
If Caroline was really familiar with Mr. Anderson, then her weight would increase, and Balor would have to re-evaluate her.
Aubrey and Kelly both looked at her, but the former was hesitant to speak, while the latter was jealous.
Caroline could see what the three of them were thinking at a glance. She pretended not to know anything and shook her head. “Before this, my understanding of Mr. Anderson was only based on rumors.”
She wasn’t lying. After all, Edwin only said his name during the day and didn’t reveal his family name.
Balor stared at Caroline for a few seconds, but he did not see any signs of her lying. He believed her for the time being.
Originally, Balor had wanted to use this opportunity to test and teach Caroline a lesson. However, Edwin’s sudden visit had disrupted this situation. Now, Balor’s mind was filled with how to strike while the iron was hot and use this opportunity to build a relationship with the Anderson family so that his career could take another step forward.
Therefore, he temporarily put the matter of disciplining Caroline to the back of his mind and was rushing back to the study to plan how to build a good relationship with the Anderson family.
However, there was another person who didn’t know how to read people’s expressions and stopped his anxious footsteps.
Kelly ran over and blocked the staircase. She stopped Caroline and said, “Sister, I’m sorry. Please give me some more time. I’ll convince them to come and apologize to you.”
Aubrey became anxious when he heard this. “Didn’t we just agree that you don’t need to come forward in this matter? You just need to let it cool down slowly. Why do we have to go and beg them for an apology?”
Caroline looked at the two of them. “You’ve agreed? As the person involved, how come I didn’t know? Who said it, and who agreed to it?”
Aubrey looked at her disapprovingly. “You look very healthy and alive right now. Why are you still forcing Kelly to do this and letting the Lambert family offend so many people?”
Their argument pulled Balor’s attention back. He looked at Caroline with an unfriendly gaze. “I haven’t settled the score with you for today’s incident. You should learn to stop while you can.”
“Whether you want to argue with me or not, that’s your business.” Caroline dodged Kelly’s hand. “I want to be calculative, that’s my business. No one can make the decision for me.”
The word ‘make the decision’ once again stirred up Balor’s sensitive nerves, and the anger that he had just suppressed rose again.

“Very good. It seems that you have forgotten your identity due to the lack of discipline during this period of time. I must once again use my actions to clearly tell you who you are and to let you know your place.”
Balor picked up the ruler on the table and rushed over.
In front of her was Balor, who was holding a ruler. Behind her, the only way out was blocked by Kelly.
If it were someone else, they would have already stepped aside. However, Kelly could not wait for Balor to beat Caroline up. Thus, not only did she not step aside, but she also grabbed Caroline’s hand and added fuel to the fire. “Dad, Sister is just too angry and aggrieved. She did not mean to contradict you, disobey you, and put the family’s interests behind her. Can you forgive her?”
“I think she’s grown up and thinks that she can spread her wings and fly out when she grows up. That’s why she doesn’t take me seriously.” The furious Balor stood on his tiptoes and swung his chubby waist. He used all his strength to raise the ruler high up and hit Caroline.
“Ah!” The shrill and miserable scream broke through the villa and spread to the air.
The servants in the room were shocked and whispered, “It seems that she’s getting beaten up again.”
However, when they went up to take a look, they realized that the person lying on the ground and moaning in pain was not Caroline, but Miss Kelly, who had been pampered by everyone.
The servants were so shocked that their mouths could swallow a large goose egg. What on earth had happened?
As it turned out, the moment the ruler was about to fall, Caroline used the strength of Kelly’s hand to pull Kelly to the front and let Kelly receive Balor’s ‘earnest teachings’ in her place.
No one present expected Caroline to do this. Hence, when they saw Kelly being knocked to the ground by the ruler, Aubrey and Balor panicked.
“Caroline, look at what you’ve done!”
